An apparatus protects the feet and legs of an infant from certain rigid
parts of an infant bouncer seat while the infant is sitting and playing
in the bouncer seat. A foot and leg protector includes a unitary and
elongated, shell, wherein the shell is u-shaped when viewed from its top
surface. Padded material having a thickness of at least about one half
inch is disposed within the shell. The shell containing the padded
material is permanently attached to the bouncer seat such that the foot
and leg protector covers substantially the entire portion of the front
lip of said bouncer seat, and front portions of left and right side lips.
Alternatively, the foot and leg protector includes a removable attachment
means including a male part and a female part. The male part is located
on the bottom surface of the foot and leg protector and the female part
is located substantially near the front lip of the bouncer seat. The
removable attachment means is operable to removably attach the foot and
leg protector to the bouncer seat such that the foot and leg protector
covers substantially the entire portion of the front lip of the bouncer
seat, and front portions of left and right side lips. The removable
attachment means may include buttons, zippers, hook and loop type
fasteners, snaps, magnets, or the like. The foot and leg protector
operates to protect a child's feet and legs from pain and discomfort that
otherwise would be experienced from physical contact with certain rigid
parts located near the front, left, and right lips of the bouncer seat
while the child is sitting and playing in the bouncer seat.
